What are Chicken Nuggets?

Chicken nuggets are small pieces of breaded and deep-fried chicken meat. They are usually made from ground chicken meat, mixed with several ingredients like spices, cornflour, and breadcrumbs. They can be served either as a stand-alone dish or as an accompaniment to other foods like fries, vegetables, or a dip. Chicken nuggets can be bought from fast food restaurants, grocery stores, or can be made at home with fresh chicken.

History of Chicken Nuggets

The origins of chicken nuggets date back to the 1950s. In 1950, a company named Tyson Foods developed a new food innovation, which was a breaded and deep-fried piece of chicken called “chicken crispie”. Later in the 1960s, the McDonald’s fast-food chain came up with a similar product, which they called “McNuggets”. The McNuggets soon became popular, and several other fast-food chains started producing their versions of chicken nuggets.
